A young woman trying to hail a cab in the heart of Greenwich Village was jumped by a stranger who lurched out of a dark sedan and dragged her into the back seat of his car, where he raped her and then dumped her uptown, cops said last night.

The frightening violence occurred at 1:30 a.m. Sunday on the corner of La Guardia Place and Bleeker Street – just two blocks from Washington Square.

The 23-year-old woman was driven to another location and attacked, cops said.

The sicko dropped her off at East 46th Street near Lexington Avenue. She was treated at and released from New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

A bartender at Alibi on Macdougal Street, which is crowded with restaurants and bars that cater to NYU students and tourists, was stunned when he heard the news.

“Holy God, I was working then,” said Richie Berette. “This neighborhood is usually safe. I’m shocked.”
